Story Mode

Story Mode is one of the main modes of Arena Fighters, besides the multiplayer counterparts.

Concept.
In Story, it goes by the story below, for a initial version of a character, as well as people they are allied with (you neeed to play the game with specific characters to find out more about the story to avoid spoilers). Variants of characters however, may have different storylines when you go through the game with them. It is advised to play in order for some characters. (As a estimate, it can take about 812 complete rounds to complete every character and their variants's Story.)

There are 8-13 matches depending on who you play as, and cutscenes before and after each fight, as well as a ending for each character. (Not in the 5/30/15 Beta!)

It is possible to do Background Multiplayer Matchmaking while in Story Mode, so you could start a Ranked Match search, hop into Story mode and play there, and be notified when a match is available for you. Some achievements can only be unlocked in Story Mode.

Story.
In the voice of Urn, speaking to The Council

"Earth. We are aware of the hidden potential of a few persons on that planet. We need to gather them, 'and make sure they are on the side of peace and unity. We can't let Ringmaster 'and his forces get to them first."''

"Agreed, but...we might be too late. Ringmaster has already started finding these warriors and getting them together for a tournament. A spy I have inside has stated that the high placing winners will get as much power and wealth as they want, but in reality, his plan is to take them as bodyguards forever, and anyone who loses in the tournament...is secretly executed."

"Can't you two help!? You are both powerful than him, than anyone!"

"Our power is near his, not above. and as you should know...we cannot interfere with conflict that goes on on the Earth. Only galaxy destroying situations we can interfere with."

"But.."

"Don't but us. Get Out, you're dismissed."

"Looks like theres only one thing to do, and only a few people to contact...I need to find some old friends before I die of my old age."
